For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

During anaphase, the sister chromatids are separated simultaneously at their centromeres. The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell. Anaphase ensures ...

The membrane around the nucleus disappears. Metaphase Chromosomes and their copies line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase Chromosomes and their copies are pulled to different ends of the cell.

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies.How the cell ...

Every time a cell divides, it must distribute the correct number ... and how the placement and the timing of this alignment can impact distribution of chromosomes during anaphase.

My research focuses on the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes are the bodies that contain our DNA and it’s critical that each cell has the correct DNA in the correct quantity ...

During interphase, individual chromosomes are not visible ... only cells with correctly assembled spindles enter anaphase. The progression of cells from metaphase into anaphase is marked by ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...
